Dear PS3 game developers, please STOP developing motion control features

In 99% of the games for the PS3, the motion control features are next to useless. Please, PS3 game developers, STOP wasting your time and resources on developing motion control features for your games. By doing so, you are driving up the price of the game for us consumers, giving us a feature the vast majority of us DO NOT WANT and DO NOT CARE ABOUT.

You speak for yourself TC. I like the motion control in Heavenly Sword and Motorstorm. I think it's a fun feature that your probablly just not very good at maybe.

Motion is lame

lol give new technology a chance...the developers are just playing around with it, some might want to do more in the future some may not....it will take time. Socom: Confrontation has some pretty nice features with the motion sensor.

I love it when used right. Specific examples include Folklore, Heavenly Sword and Motorstorm (I use it almost exclusively). Also, believe it or not, I enjoyed the use of motion control in Lair as well.

I hope developers continue to use it so long as it adds to the game, and not simply dumped in just to say that it's included.

Precisely.

How is motion controls making the cost of games go up?...The 360 doesn't have motion controls and all its new release games are the same price as the PS3s

Since when do high end game devs read game forums....stop whinning. In some cases where its optional adds light gameplay to the game (resistance, heavenly sword, ect) i like it.Smallville123

Personally, I like motion controls, if its done right. Most developers probably add it to games thinking they have to since its there. Games like Flow, Heavenly Sword and Warhawk all utilize motion controls successfully imo, and, for me, it makes the game a little bit more fun :-)

Motion control is a novelty. It can be fun for minigames and stuff but is more often than not done very poorly. It wouldn't bother me if PS dropped it, but then again it didn't bother me when they dropped vibration. Apparently a lot of people disagreed, enough to make them bring it back.

I just feel sorry for the people who put all the time and effort into trying to make that stuff work, just to have the majority of people not use it.

Vast majority or just you? Some of you complain over the lamest things it's not even funny.

I can see a definite improvement in more recent games use of it, than older games. This is a sign that developers are starting to implement it earlier in the design process, or they are just being smarter about where they use it. I say keep doing it until they are able to make it work like SOCOM, Metal Gear Solid, and Grand Theft Auto have.

no some games with motion control is pretty good.

i loved it in heavenly sword, and i loved fl0w too, it used the 6axis pretty well.

some developers just need to know how to use it properly.

I hate motion controls too. At the beginning of the game, there should be an option to turn in on or off. It's a one time decision.

Or maybe, some like this will appear before a motion control part:

"Use motion control?

Yes, that's fun!

No, analog sticks FTW!"

Hehehe!

Heavenly Sword = Awesome six axxis

GTAIV = Horrible six axxis
